Are there any screenshots/videos of Xmacs that we can look at? Does it share any configuration files with TeXmacs?

Are there any screenshots/videos of Xmacs that we can look at?

No screenshots. It is the same with GNU TeXmacs. Videos are listed in the release notes. If you have trouble watching videos on Bilibili, please tell me. I’d like to upload the Videos to Youtube if Bilibili is not available in some areas of the world.

Does it share any configuration files with TeXmacs?

Yes. $HOME/.TeXmacs is shared. Xmacs is a distribution of GNU TeXmacs. A good question. I should have written down the fact on the release note.

What are the main goals of this fork? Who should consider using it over TeXmacs?

In my opinion, GNU TeXmacs is for scientists or people who want to be a scientist.

Xmacs is for people who write code and documents using lightweight markup language.
